Our Story.

The Team

Terri Bullock, President and Founder

In 2020, at a time when relationships in our world were even more fractured than normal, Terri decided to conduct her own personal social experiment. She realized she knew many individuals who had the ability to provide a healing alternative to the problem. She selected 50 friends and acquaintances, sent each of them a generous check and enlisted them to be “Kindness Ambassadors.” She asked them to find ways to spread kindness. This was the genesis of what is now the TDB Family Foundation. Terri’s passion for using the arts, particularly film, as a powerful and creative vehicle to inform and motivate the community in important issues was the driving force behind Windrider Bay Area and is continuing in the TDB Family Foundation.

She’s been an active volunteer for UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, for the Parents of Alumni Committee for Menlo School and on the board of the Menlo Park Atherton Education Foundation. Previously, she worked for twenty years in wholesale banking and finance for Wells Fargo Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank and in investment advising for The Savant Investment Group. She presently serves on the Board of Directors for Music@Menlo and the Advisory Board of UCLA Anderson’s Center for Impact. Terri has a BA in English from the University of the Pacific, an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management and is a Certified and Licensed Financial Planner.

From 1995-2019, he was the director of Fuller Theological Seminary’s regional campus in Colorado Springs. Most recently Will was the Director of Community Impact for Greccio Housing, an affordable housing nonprofit in Colorado Springs, CO.

Julie Mell, Team Member

Julie has been a passionate independent film lover her entire life. Her passion for excellence in independent films has become more discriminating and sophisticated as a result of attending the renowned Sundance Film Festival for over 25 years now. Julie launched Beach Break Entertainment at the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown in August, 2020. Beach Break Entertainment became a silver lining of the pandemic, as its screenings provided a welcome opportunity for the California Coastside community and beyond to enjoy a safe, coastal respite in the form of a nostalgic family or date night at a pop-up drive-in cinema experience. Julie’s creativity, positivity, and the hometown personal touches she integrates into each of her screenings so that attendees feel special led to the creation of Movies on Main in 2021, serving as an integral component of the downtown Half Moon Bay and Coastside post-pandemic economic recovery initiative. Julie served as a volunteer for Windrider Bay Area for 10 years and Associate Director of the Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival.
